Last week I was in a funk.
So I wrote a semi-angsty post about it took a break from blogging for a couple of days. You were all so sweet and many of you took the time to leave me comments filled with understanding and encouragement. I never started this blog for the purpose of having people read it…it was always just for myself, but knowing that I have found such a wonderful community of friends here has made it so much more fulfilling.
I spent my time away relaxing….
I painted my nails while Fern took an extra long nap.
Made strawberry shortcake.
Enjoyed sleeping in for the first time in 6 months (since Fern was born).
I didn’t hear her wake up, but Craig did – so he got up with her and I got to sleep an extra hour and then he made me a delicious mocha once I was awake. Extra sleep is is way better than flowers any day. I have myself a good husband.
Overall, I just stopped and took time to enjoy the little things and remember how blessed I am in my life. I have a wonderful family – a thoughtful husband, a beautiful, sweet baby and coffee. The whole world looks better after a cup of good coffee :).
Thank you again for being wonderful bloggy friends.
I feel refreshed and am looking forward to being back at it again.

Aww that is super sweet of your hubby to let you sleep in! And to make you a mocha too?! Aww 🙂 Gotta love those sweet thoughtful things!!! I need to paint my nails! I am thinking something bright and fun with all the great polish I just got on clearance at Target. I always remember way too close to time to get and that always ends up a disaster! haha! Ps- I am loving that mug 🙂 Very neat! Happy Monday!!!
I must have tried commenting 3 different times on your funk-blog-break-post and each time it kept crapping out on me. So happy you enjoyed your time off, and very happy to see you back. I love reading your stories, especially about Fern. You can totally tell that your love for her is exploding and I love it.
everyone has this and everyone needs a break. doing something for yourself is always the way to help. i had these same feeling last week and splurged for a much needed massage and mani!!

Yayy for sleeping in dear 🙂 So nice of Craig to get the baby (or, so good at training him 😉 haha)
And the strawberry shortcake kind of sounds stinkin’ delicious!!! Wish you fed me 🙂
Love you friend.

I know the feeling, funks are the worst!
